WONDERLAND
 

whats the deal with this song...how come its so scary sounding? is it supposed to set a mood for the album...or i dunno.. the guy laughing at the end is freaky...

lol, i wonder as well. I think WONDERLAND was a total waste of space, but heck, just my opinion :P

i think uhm as i imagined it... ^^
it would be like ayu riding in the carousel [like the one in the CAROLS video]
then sudenly the trees started burning and then everything in the video [or whatever im thinking] will be like bruning and clowns will appear... it would be like a disastrous carnivale... T____T eh... evil..... T____T

i just hated the laughing parts.. seems creepy

It's a weird song...I think..
but it's a brilliant composition by Ayu nonetheless

i would've LOVED a clip for that song..so many possibilities...

but its a very cool song i think. I'm sure it didnt take that long to compose. The carnival-y sound is common..the special thing is how it turns evil..heh

it's a dream.... she's in a dream, and then she slowly drifts into a nightmare... So it's like she was at a carnival, fun by day, weird at night!

CAROLS merry-go-round + alterna clowns = WONDERLAND clip

Whn i listen to it i feel like i'm at the carnival...and someone's watching me...STUPID KNOTTS SCARY FARM!!
I went into the clown thingy....big mistake...

o.o..........you just scared me of ever listening to that song again...XD

I always wonder about that I think it has something to do with ayu's childhood but then I might be wrong!!

it MAY jus be a song w/o lyrics only to lengthen the album... ??

but for an interlude, this piece is really deep... It's amazing how she can put feelings even into a noverbal interlude...

Well, if you look at MY STORY

1. Starts off Rockish and Hyped Up
2. WONDERLAND marks the subsiding of the hype and into something more serious and emotional
3. Start of "Pain of Love" Songs
4. Ballads
5. Kaleidoscope marks the start of second hype
6. Hyped Up songs with gradual transition to more smoothing and relaxing tunes (Replace, winding road)
7. Ended off with a BASH! (Humming 7/4: which is an equivalent of "+" (more than) in RAINBOW, flower garden in I am ... and girlish in DUTY)

The interludes are not for no reason. They basically mark the transition of the moods and actually help to people to appreciate the album as an ENTIRE FULL COMPLETE album instead of an album as just a compilation of songs.

WONDERLAND does serve this purpose and I think it's really great! It just paints this picture in your mind instantly and I think that's where it succeeds! I hoped they made a video for this in her ARENA TOUR but nope ... there wasn't so I'm DISAPPOINTED to a certain extent!

The album is 17 tracks. It was already really long. WONDERLAND is in there because Ayu thought it was important enough to include. I personally really like it. As others have said, it puts images in your head without using words and the message is pretty obvious - the end of innocence. It also segues nicely into Liar, Hope or Pain, and Happy Ending which have always made me think of carnivals too when I listen to them for some reason. I think those four songs were meant to be placed together.

o_O thats true..never noticed it..thanks for pointing that out

wonderland served as some kind of partition between sections of the album! I love it, S.K.Y. its not a waste, its short, and anything Ayu makes is gold :laugh!! I love Wonderland, really creepy! Reminds me of how some good happenings can turn into nightmares..

yeah, maybe shewanted us to picture it ourselves, because it is easier to picture than other interludes

WONDERLAND is so awesome, it's probably my favorite Ayu interlude ever. It's just perfect, it doesn't need words at all, it explains itself. Plus, it was written by CREA, so it's even better.
